Sound and light equipment

Forest Arts Centre has a very small auditorium (20M x 10M) with a professionally installed sound system, which is ideal for the various events which the Centre has to deal with. It is requested that Artistes work closely with the sound engineer to obtain a comfortable sound level across the auditorium.

The Mixing desk is located in a technical box at the rear of the auditorium. This room has a large window which is removable. We do not have the option of moving the mixing console

NB: we do not have the capacity to supply any additional musical instruments

Important notes

There is a limited stock of gel available at the venue so incoming companies with specific requirements are requested to supply their own gel.

Any incoming electrical equipment must be PAT tested. Evidence of this may be requested.

Technical riders should arrive at least 3 weeks prior to the event.

Pre-rigs must be arranged with CPS well in advance. The amount the venue is in use causes pre rigging to be a problem unless agreed well in advance. The only extra power supply available in the main venue is 1 x 32 amp ring main (13A wall-mounted sockets). This is the only Temporary power for any touring lighting etc.

The Get In is through two double standard height doors on the flat.

The Venue has a permanently installed dance floor that cannot be taken up

Forest Arts uses an outside, professional technical company called CPS based in Bournemouth.
